Small B-Train Layout - Building it

[kami_illy]

Quickly drew up a street for the corner (upper right) where the Shizuoka Tower could stand. Think it'll work. 

 

 

Next I'll put together the improved version of the building. It's already printed, I'm just waiting for a calm moment...

So, instead of building the next -better- version of the tower, I mocked up the surrounding area which has been pretty undefined so far. I decided to create a shopping street. Once the entry signs will be up, you'll be able to see where i got my inspirations. 

As always, the mock-up is pretty much a paper kit (with some card board reinforcements). The stores viaduct are not occupied so far. I'll decide on the businesses and restaurants later. 

 

 

PS: please note, that the tower itself is still just the first very rough (and in some parts even wrong) "sketch" 😉

I was trying to see, how this new corner looked with the rest of the neighboring city buildings. I like the look of it, but I really have to check the clearances of the viaduct with the whole overhead wire structure and the buildings...

I like how the two different levels of the street come together.

 

 

I just got lost in the construction of this mock-up (I keep doing this and kinda avoid to finally build the permanent base) but now will have to get the whole layout together.  Would have never thought long it takes or better how slow I am to get this done. But then there is all the life and family and work and... around. Anyways, maybe over the holidays I'll have some time to continue!
